Whereas most studies of migration focus on movement, this book
examines the experience of staying put. It looks at young men
living in a Soninke-speaking village in Gambia who, although eager
to travel abroad for money and experience, settle as farmers, heads
of families, businessmen, civic activists, or, alternatively, as
unemployed, demoted youth. Those who stay do so not only because of
financial and legal limitations, but also because of pressures to
maintain family and social bases in the Gambia valley. 'Stayers'
thus enable migrants to migrate, while ensuring the activities and
values attached to rural life are passed on to the future
generations.
